They do, absolutely. But Assad's government being toppled doesn't mean they will get better. There's not even any hope of it.

I love it when online commenters display more confidence in their opinions than experts in the field. Really shows how much value their opinion has.

What experts expect Syria to get better? The rebels are led by a rebranding of al-Nusra Front which is widely designated as an islamist terrorist organization.

The rebels aren’t led by any one group and HTS only has control over some northern provinces. There’s at least four major alliances in play between dozens of rebel groups at the moment, and there’s no one frontrunner to take over.

“experts in the field” are a great excuse to manipulate public opinion
